Cherub Vases

Cherub vases transcend the ordinary - they are works of art that merge craftsmanship, myth, and history. Aesthetically pleasing, vases like these are often decorated with cherubs that extend the aesthetic sensibilities and tastes of their time. These vases take on deeper meaning with the cherub symbolizing mischief, innocence, and divine beauty throughout history, making these vases more than decorative pieces. Their presence graced the salons and parlors of the elite as symbols of wealth and power.

Antique cherub vases were one of the hallmarks of the aesthetic taste of European aristocracy, especially in baroque and rococo styles. Besides their practical purpose, these vases were ornamented with delicate scrollwork, floral motifs, and cherubs. Traditionally, cherub vases were made from ceramics, porcelain, or detailed blown glass. The intricate designs of antique cherub vases were often enhanced by delicate hand-paintings, gold accents, and glazed finishes that highlighted their fine workmanship. These vases were adorned with cherubs, flowers, ribbons, clouds, and ribbons during the Rococo era, capturing the extravagant forms and detailed decoration of the period. 

Art Nouveau and Victorian movements reinterpreted the cherub vase during the 19th century. Because of Victorian romanticism, cherubs are often depicted in lush, pastoral settings accompanied by tender imagery. The art nouveau movement gave cherubs dynamic and fluid compositions that blended nature and figures.
Nowadays, antique and vintage cherub vases are highly prized by collectors and connoisseurs of fine art. As works of art, they are timeless because of their elaborate designs and the stories they embody from the past. In any setting, whether traditional or contemporary, the vases invite contemplation, and serve as an enduring reminder of a time when beauty endured, and art was a way of life. Whether you are a collector, interior designer, or simply someone who appreciates art, cherub vases are a wonderful decorative accent to any room.
